ATTN ALL –
If you’re watching the India medication market, I want to hear from you, what would YOU most want to see independently tested and verified? I’m seriously considering funding some real lab work myself. I’m not rich, but I’m comfortable enough, and I’ve got more time on my hands lately than I know what to do with. Instead of questioning things in circles online, I’d rather put money toward actual data that helps everyone. At this moment it's not a full on yes decision, and I'm not asking for contributions from anyone. If I decide it's good to do and worth it I'll foot the bill.
Here’s where my head is at. For the big, established Indian pharma companies, Zydus, Cipla, Sun, Dr. Reddy’s, Sanofi India, Mankind, HAB, Concern, and others, the manufacturing standards are already solid. These are WHO/GMP, export level companies. Testing their legitimate pharmacy products usually just confirms what we already expect, tablets tend to hit label claim, excipient profiles are clean, and contamination risk is low. So testing those mostly answers one question, is the product genuine or counterfeit? That still has value, but it’s different from proving whether the manufacturer knows what they’re doing.
Where it gets interesting is with the products that actually are made by real Indian pharma versus the stuff that clearly isn’t. Some things are legitimately produced there, like Zydus mesterolone, which is a real prescription product, or medical dose oxandrolone that exists for burn recovery and wasting conditions. Methandienone/Test so on all has a historical pharma presence in India, though modern high dose “blast” versions are often something else entirely. Testing in these areas would answer real questions, is the API actually what the strip claims, is the dose accurate, or has something been substituted? Repackage?
Then there are the true wildcards. Any Indian HGH is at the top of my curiosity list. HCG after real shipping exposure, newer metabolic meds like imeglimin, and anything marketed as export only would also be worth a hard look. Biologics are where we’d learn the most, actual IU content, dimer levels, degradation from heat, and whether the vial even contains the right molecule at all.
We also have to be honest about another reality. A lot of products floating around with labels like “Cipla Tren,” “Sun Pharma Anavar 50,” or “Dr Reddy Test 300” are almost certainly not coming from those companies. Testing would be evaluating the product in front of us, not validating Cipla or Sun quality. That’s fine, but the goal needs to be harm reduction and truth, not brand worshiping.
So I want your input. If we picked the top five items the community actually wants tested, what should they be? My first vote is any and all Indian HGH, just to see what’s real, what’s relabeled, and what actually survives shipping (storage conditions), but I want to nature this down further to obvious manufacturing dates to coincide with the testing. I don't want to test HGH from last year obviously.
After that I’m thinking things like Zydus mesterolone as a real pharma benchmark, medicaldose oxandrolone strips, HCG post shipping, and maybe one of the newer metabolic meds.
Drop your suggestions, specific meds, categories, whatever questions you actually want answered. I’m planning to use Janoshik for proper analytical testing.
so we get real LCMS and HPLC data, not “trust me friend" results.
I'm know expert in this area, so I'm just getting my feet wet, hit me with knowledge things to look for and so on.
And for those who asked India does provide lab testing like Janoshik. The pricing if confirmed is significantly cheaper as to be expected.
